Confused
Chapter one…
Relena stared at the wall as she entered her office and saw tons of folders on her desk. /Great! More paper work to do/ She thought with a sarcastic expression on her face. She sat down gracefully on her executive chair and took out a pen from one of her drawers.
She looked at the folders. Her eyes widened at the sight of one of the folders. She reached for the folder and opened it with curiosity. Apparently, the folder was way too thick and long to be paper work. It must be a new employee she had to look over; she always enjoyed seeing new faces. She started reading and after finishing one whole page, her eyes were as big as they could get.
"Heero Yuy... personal bodyguard...21 years old... MARRIED!" Relena read out loud, almost shouting the last word.
She continued reading, in search for Heero's wife.
"Wife: Nica-diseased! One daughter: Aiko..." She dropped the folder on the desk, her brows furrowed.
"How... Why didn't he tell me?" Relena said with an almost pathetic look on her face.
"Because I knew that you would have stopped me." a familiar voice spoke out from a corner in the room that was not well laminated.
"Heero! W-what are you doing here!" Relena said standing up from her comfortable chair,
"I'm your body guard. I'm supposed to be here." He said with a stoic expression on his face.
"Right, right..." Relena answered trying to hide her blushing cheeks from Heero.
Relena approached Heero steadily. Heero eyed her wearily but didn't move.
Relena stopped a foot in front of Heero, looking straight into his eyes.
"Do you really think I would do such a thing, Heero?"
"... Probably..." Relena's eyes widened at what Heero had just said.
"Really? Do you really think I'm that low and desperate?" she said in a soft whisper.
"Maybe,"
"What makes you think so?"
"Have you dated since the last time I kissed you...? Three years ago?"
"Whether or not I have dated is none of your concern!" she snapped before returning to her seat.
The room fell silent but the silence was broken by Heero, who was now standing behind Relena's chair.
"I haven't..." Heero said, looking at Relena's now confused expression.
"W-what! How about Nica? You couldn't have married her with out dating her... Could you?" Relena said with a tiny hint of anger in her eyes.
"I did..."
"Why?"
"I... I didn't have a choice."
"What do you mean you didn't have a choice?"
"I was forced into it." He said stepping back.
"By who?" Relena stood up and slowly walked towards Heero, the look of confusion and anger now replaced by pity.
"By her parents..." Heero looked away from Relena's glare.
"May I ask why?"
"They threatened to kill you. At first I thought I could protect you but then I found out that assassinating you would be a cinch since they had killed more well-protected people. So I-I gave in."
/He... he gave up to protect me? Maybe he still loves me./ Relena moved Heero's face slowly bringing their faces mere inches away.
"You-you gave up? Y-you never give up. You would at least let them try first."
"I did. And they came so close... I thought I was gonna loose you."
"Well, you didn't... I'm still here, am I not? But I still can't believe that you would marry someone you've never met just to protect me."
"I had to, it's my job. Plus, the world needs you to attain the peace."
/There goes my chance with him... He only sees me as the Vice Foreign Minister… / She walked back to her chair, head bowed down in a sympathetic posture.
"Relena? What's wrong"
"Nothing... I have tons of paper work to get finished." But something was wrong and Heero new it.
